Description
The UNCITRAL Model Law has formed the bedrock of national legislative reform for the majority of national arbitration laws. Since then, national legislatures have grappled with the benefit of a model template and at the same time localised the law to fit its needs and constituents. This panel will look at whether divergence from the UNCITRAL Model law enhances or detracts from the greater system and also consider any amendments from their jurisdiction that might be welcome.
